I have some parts lying around, and I wanted to give this a shot. I want this system to be able to:

  • Burn ISO images of single layer DVD
  • Burn the contents of a folder to DVD
  • Duplicate discs
  • Create ISOs of discs to HDD or network

All of this should be available via a remote interface, and all options should be able to use multiple drives.

So thats the idea, first step is the hardware. Here are the components I will be using:

  • Lian Li case (It was recently made redundent) (4x 5.25″ bays 2x 3.5″ 3x 3.5″ HDD bays)
  • 350W PSU (Not branded)
  • 300W PSU Codegen
  • PSU Tester (to bring the second PSU online)
  • AOpen AK77 Pro-A 133 Motherboard
  • AMD Athlon 2100+ XP
  • Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 (CPU Heatsync and Fan)
  • 512MB DDR 400 (That’s PC3200) (Thanks to Steve Peace (http://www.stevepearce.info))
  • nVidia GeForce MX-440 8X 64MB
  • Realtek RTL8169S Gigabit Ethernet NIC (Unfortunately no boot ROM)
  • Fujitsu MPC3065AH (6.5GB) IDE – This will be the system drive
  • Maxtor 90651U2 (6.5GB) IDE – Temp drive (For disc images)
  • Pioneer DVR-109 IDE
  • Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7170A IDE (Only reads/writes DVDs – It was free)
  • Toshiba Samsung SH-S182 IDE
  • NEC ND-3550A IDE
  • iTE IT8212F IDE Controller (2 channel)
  • Floppy Drive (was already in the case, dont need the bay and I can’t see a blanking plate)
  • 2x 120mm fan

As I have a floppy drive, might consider grabbing that as a boot record…

Ok, so I’ve hooked it all up, and mounted the PSU on the top of the case (temporarily) with cable ties and black tape.

Now that its all together, lets see if it boots!

It didn’t at first, but I reseated the memory and now it runs as expected. Now for the software!
